In appropriating the classical picturesque Eighteenth Century landscape, Lucy paints and subverts expectations by alluding to current social, political and cultural commentaries. A true sense of discord is evident in her prints, but the unexpected anachronisms that deftly find their way into her compositions result in artwork that is saturated in humour. We love the refreshingly comic disruption of the ordinary, juxtaposing the past with the present, making us question if the woman in that portrait really is wearing Beats headphones. Lucy graduated from the University of Derby where she was formally trained in Fine Art, before taking the art world by storm. Lucy worked as a graphic designer for magazines such as Closer and Heat after graduating, before focusing on her art career in 2017 after feeling creatively stifled. Lucy has exhibited in Brighton at the Fringe Festival, in the Paxton Glew gallery and at the London Craft Week. In 2018, Lucy was invited to participate in Bob Osbourne and Carrie Reichardt’s Cash is King project that later was published as a book and exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery.
Lucy has worked with Adidas, Footlocker and Lazy Oaf.
Lucy created a range of figurines for the Greggs and Primark collaboration.
Lucy is inspired by Pop Art and the Punk music scene.
Lucy sources her antique figurines at junk shops, car boot fairs and on eBay.
Lucy lives in Brighton.
